Joachim Armbruster (DE) - April 2013
Musik:
I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift
Note: The music leaves the chance to listen to it in 2 ways:
1. Very quick: So it would make the song an East Coast Swing within in phrases (not the choruses).
2. Half the speed, quite slow: Only considering the speed, it would match a Night Club 2, but of course the music is much too „aggressive“ to be a NC2.
For my interpretation I chose the "slower interpretation“.
Start when Taylor starts singing:
[1 – 8] Step, Cross, Behind, Side, Touch, 3 Walks FW, 3 Walks BW
1, 2Step R to R (1), Cross L behind R and sweep R to R (2)

5&6Walk R FW (5), Walk L FW (&), Walk R FW (6)
